The service time on Mark Webber's car was confirmed by telemetry data that showed the car was stopped for 2.05 seconds. The stop eclipsed the fastest previous routine (four-tire) pit stop mark of 2.31 seconds turned in by McLaren for Jenson Button at last year's German Grand Prix.

The previous record was actually broken six times during the Malaysian GP, and five of those six were recorded by by Red Bull Racing for drivers Webber and Sebastian Vettel. McLaren posted a fast pit time of 2.28 seconds in Malaysia to account for the sixth record-breaking time.

By comparison, below is a video of the old record.
